Self-defense is serious business requiring more than just strapping on a gun and hoping for the best. If you carry a gun for self-defense you’re taking on a weighty responsibility not only for your own safety but the safety of others. Once you’ve trained for it, chosen your method of carry, and spent time becoming proficient in rapid presentation and accuracy, there’s still something to consider: the quality of your chosen self-defense rounds. Target rounds cannot be used for self-defense because they do not expand but simply create a through-and-through wound, also over-penetrating and potentially injuring innocent bystanders. Find a good defense round and train with it, because defense rounds produce more felt recoil than target rounds. It’s all about training, and one day your training may save your life.

These .38 Special rounds weigh 158 grain, putting them at the heavier end of the weight scale for the cartridge size. Being heavier enables them to impact targets with greater force, which is just what you want from a defense round. These are Jacketed Hollow Point, JHP, rounds and begin to expand immediately upon impact. Their jackets control expansion which allows the bullets to penetrate more fully, creating a larger, more devastating wound cavity. Each round has a muzzle velocity of 807 feet per second and a muzzle energy of 230 foot-pounds. These rounds are made by Magtech specifically for self-defense use.

When you order this single box of ammunition from Magtech you get 50 defense rounds. That’s enough to keep your gun and spare magazines or speedloaders loaded and ready for personal protection, but you’re going to need more to get some training in. Buy one box to be loaded and prepared, but buy two or more for realistic training time. These are brand new production, brass-cased rounds with boxer primer and can be reloaded. Magtech manufactures ammunition at their established factory in Sao Paulo, Brazil, according to high standards of quality and performance. Place your order now to be prepared for whatever may come.
